I think he merely wanted to point out its similarity to Tron. I can't really tell if this is spam, so no swearing from me. I ain't a mod, you guys be teh judge.

"... the video for new single '12:51' is based on a cult movie the band love. ...
" 'Tron's such a beautifully made movie that we wanted to use some of the aspects against our music,' said [Strokes' member] Moretti. 'Tron's so innovative, it's like eye candy. You can get it on DVD and think, 'Wow, they really went all out making this beautiful'. Why not have a swing at it?'
"The video was directed by Roman Coppola, son of legendary film-maker Francis Ford Coppola and brother of Sofia. The Strokes' logo has also changed to white 'SPACE 1999'-style lettering. ..."
